Re: Official Mac OS X Leopard Installation & Discussion Thread

Several people I work with have had the same problem and while some people don't think it's a big deal, it's definitely a pain in the ass. I rarely shutdown my machine...I usually just put it to sleep. But installing any software that requires a reboot forces me to hold down the power button to shut off the machine...you don't get the option to logoff first.

I'm experiencing exactly this on a G4 dual 867, ever since the update. I thought that maybe it was related to my third-party USB 2 card and was going to remove it to see if that solved the problem, but maybe we can find a common thread between all of our machines (especially since mine is old and weird).

What are the machines? How did you do the migration to Leopard? (I did an archive-and-install after pooching my original install -- CURSE YOU LOGITECH!!!) Got anything odd or out-of-the-ordinary attached or installed? I have three HDs inside, with my iTunes library on one, my iPhoto library on another and the system on the third. I have a high speed USB card reader, an M-Audio keyboard, and two iPods connected most of the time -- a 60GB video and a second gen Shuffle. I'm using the first of the Apple white keyboards and a cheap Logitech optical mouse whose name I forget. I have an outrageously large amount of RAM that was all installed at time of purchase. I'm using the original 17" Apple LCD display connected via ADC.

Dunno, any of that ring a bell? What's on yours? Any weird software?
